Late of Dundrum Road.

 

Our most cherished and beloved Mam Phil left this world peacefully the morning of July 11th 2025, in her 92nd year, in the presence of loved ones under the care of the staff at St. James's Hospital following a 6 week stay and a most resilient fight against long illness.

 

Beloved wife of the late Thomas (Tom) Mc Grath.

 

Most adored Mother profoundly missed by her children. Her daughter Zélie who had the privilege of accompanying and caring for her for many years and by her three wonderful sons "The Boys" Tomás, Philip and Emmanuel and her favourite, Conor Byrne. Predeceased by baby daughter Martina.

 

Sadly missed and remembered by her family, friends, godchildren, in-laws, grandchildren, neighbours and her regular Home Care Assistants.
